Storing food during a power failure
Foods can be preserved for a couple of hours even in summer in case of power
failure.
• To keep the interior temperature cold, avoid opening the door.
• Do not put fresh food into your freezer until the power comes back on.
Maintaining your freezer
Cleaning your freezer
Your freezer is designed for year-round use with only minimal cleaning and
maintenance.
1 Unplug your freezer from the power outlet.
2 Remove all food.
3 Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
4 Wash the inside and outside with a cloth dampened with a non-corrosive,
neutral detergent. If you use a detergent, remove the residual detergent with
a cloth dampened with clear water. Do not use excessive detergent or water.
Too much liquid may damage the electrical insulation.
5 Dry the inside and outside with a soft cloth or towel.
6 Make sure that you keep the door gasket (seal) clean so that the door seals
tightly. This helps your freezer run efficiently.
Defrosting your freezer
1 Unplug your freezer.
2 Remove all food from your freezer, and place the food into containers that
prevent it from melting.
3 To speed the defrosting, you can:
• Place a fan blowing on its highest speed pointed right at your freezer. The
ice melts faster. After the ice melts, use towels to wipe up excess water, then
use the fan to speed drying.
• Place containers with hot water inside your freezer.
• Use a plastic or wooden ice shovel (like a spatula) to remove thick layers of
ice or frost. Do not use a sharp utensil (like a knife) because you may damage
your freezer.
4 Use a cloth dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution to clean the
inside of your freezer.
5 When you finish defrosting, wipe the inside with a dry towel.
6 Close your freezer, plug it into the power outlet, then put the food back into
your freezer.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the finish, do not use:
• Gasoline, benzine, thinner, or other similar solvents.
• Abrasive cleaners.
Tip: To avoid standing water when you defrost, place some towels on the floor
in front of your freezer.
